Crumby's Fungi - Exides glandulosa

Er. Red says we need a picture to create venue balance. Here's Exides glandulosa. It's somewhat dessicated in the picture. I was supposed to get Raymone to take its picture when it was swollen up, but I couldn't find Raymone. Then I forgot. By the time I remembered to take its picture it was partially dried out from having the sun shine on it and a cold north wind blowing on it for a few hours. Sometimes it appears, plumper, like it did when I was supposed to take its picture in the first place. This jelly mushroom commonly habitates on rotten logs in these parts. It is edible at least once.

A great many responsibilities devolve upon the weary shoulders of an ovate like myself. For instance, tomorrow I see myself doing some sweeping and mopping of the dusty corridors. Yepper. Complaints and even whining have reached my recently sickly ears regarding the great volume achieved by a dust bunny or two. But lo, I explain to the whiners. Always remember that though a dust bunny may achieve a great volume, its mass shall ever remain of no account. But alas, a wise observation similar to the interesting relationship between dust bunny mass and volume only momentarily lifts all the miserable burdens off me for an instant, maybe. Then, once that moment or instant passes along down the dusty corridors of time, those burdens fall back on me more crushingly than ever. Yea verily, I am stooped under the great volume of dust bunnies that may afflict me tomorrow.

On the other hand, I shall be conducting some interesting scientific experiments on some of the moderate-volume dust bunnies. That's something I certainly look forward to, once I have those particular dust bunnies corralled.
